An adaptive non-uniform quantization scheme is proposed for soft-decision error correction in NAND flash memory. Even though the conventional maximizing mutual information (MMI) quantizer shows the optimal post-FEC (forward error correction) bit error rate (BER) performance, this quantization scheme demands heavy computational overheads due to the exhaustive search to find the optimal parameter values. The proposed quantization scheme has a simple structure that is constructed by only six parameters, and the optimal values of them are found by maximizing the mutual information between the input and the output symbols. It is demonstrated that the proposed quantization scheme improves the BER performance of soft-decision decoding with only small computational overheads.

최근, 심층신경망 기반 오디오 부호화기가 활발히 연구되고 있다. 심층신경망 기반 오디오 부호화기는 기존의 전통적인 오디오 부호화기보다 구조적으로 간단하지만, 네트워크의 복잡도를 증가시키지 않고 인지적 성능향상을 기대하는 것은 어렵다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 인간의 청각적 특성을 활용한 심리음향모델 기반 손실함수를 사용한 기법들이 소개되었다. 심리음향 모델 기반 손실함수를 사용한 오디오 부호화기는 양자화 잡음을 잘 제어하였지만, 여전히 지각적인 향상이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 심층신경망 기반 오디오 부호화기를 위한 Multi-time Scale 손실함수의 지역 손실함수 윈도우 크기의 최적화 제안한다. Multi-time Scale 손실함수의 지역 손실함수 계산을 위한 윈도우 크기를 조절하며, 이를 통하여 오디오 부호화에 적합한 윈도우 사이즈를 결정한다. 실험을 통해 얻은 최적의 Multi-time Scale 손실함수를 사용하여 네트워크를 훈련하였고, 주관적 평가를 통해 기존의 심리음향모델 기반 손실함수보다 좋은 음성 품질을 보여주는 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 CELP 부호화기의 계산량을 줄이면서도 고음질의 음성을 합성할 수 있는 코드북 구조를 제안한다. 제안한 코드북 구조는 불규칙 코드북과 희박 중첩형 코드북 두 개의 코드북의 합으로 여기 신호를 표현한다. codebook I에서 잔류신호와 오차가 적은 여기신호열을 구한 후, 이 여기신호열에 codebook II의 여기신호열을 합하여 최적의 여기신호열을 구한다. 또한 이로 인한 전송비트수의 증가를 막기위해 홀수 프레임에서는 두 개 코드북의 index를, 짝수 프레임에서는 codebook I의 여기신호열은 그대로 사용하고 codebook II에서만 검색하여 전송하는 방법을 사용하였다. 이러한 2중 코드북 구조는 두 개의 여신호열의 합으로 표현되고 각각의 서로 다른 코드북 이득을 사용하기 때문에 정확한 이득을 표현할 수 있어 기존의 개선 알고리듬보다 더 나은 음질을 제공할 수 있다. 검색시간이 빠르고, 본 코드북 구조를 갖는 4.8kbps CELP형 부호화기를 설계하여 컴퓨터 모의 실험한 결과, 같은 전송률을 갖는 DoD CELP 부호화기보다 segSNR가 0.53dB 더 높게 나타났다.

Gasification is one of the important contribution to resource recycling by conversion of biomass to a variety of energy sources such as alcohol, SNG etc., and to global warming prevention by reduction of green house gases such as $CO_2$. The aim of this study is to draw the optimal operation condition of dual fluidized-bed gasifier with biomass fuel, to verify SNG production efficiency and to establish the basis for the domestic commercialization of dual fluidized bed gasification. As a result, dual fluidized-bed gasifier has the optimal conditions at $826^{\circ}C$ with steam input 1,334 g/hr, air input 5.56 L/min. The carbon conversion is 81% and SNG production efficiency was $CH_4$ 92%.

Expansion of network environment and multimedia demand universality of application service as HDTV, etc. During these processes, it is essential to process multimedia in real time in the wireless communication system based on mobile phone network and in the wire communication system due to fiber cable and xDSL. So, in this Paper the optimal memory allocation algorithm combines the merit of huffman encoding which is superior in simultaneous decoding ability and lempel-ziv that is distinguished in execution of compress is proposed to improve the channel transmission rate and processing speed in the compressing procedure and is verified in the entropy encoder of HDTV. Because the entropy encoder system using proposed optimal memory allocation algorithm has memory saturation prevention we confirms that the compressing ratio for moving pictures is superior than Huffman encoding and LZW.

This paper proposes an efficient binary arithmetic encoder hardware architecture for CABAC encoding, which is an entropy coding method of HEVC. CABAC is an entropy coding method that is used in HEVC standard. Entropy coding removes statistical redundancy and supports a high compression ratio of images. However, the binary arithmetic encoder causes a delay in real time processing and parallel processing is difficult because of the high dependency between data. The operation of the proposed CABAC BAE hardware structure is to separate the renormalization and process the conventional iterative algorithm in parallel. The new scheme was designed as a four-stage pipeline structure that can reduce critical path optimally. The proposed CABAC BAE hardware architecture was designed with Verilog HDL and implemented in 65nm technology. Its gate count is 8.07K and maximum operating speed of 769MHz. It processes the four bin per clock cycle. Maximum processing speed increased by 26% from existing hardware architectures.

In this paper, a complexity-balancing algorithm is proposed for distributed video coding based on entropy coding. In order to reduce complexity of DVC-based decoders, the proposed method employs an entropy coder instead of channel coders and the complexity-balancing method is designed to improve RD performance with minimal computational complexity. The proposed method performs motion estimation in the decoder side and transmits the estimated motion vectors to the encoder. The proposed encoder can perform more accurate refinement using the transmitted motion vectors from the decoder. During the motion refinement, the optimal predicted motion vectors are decided by the received motion vector and the predicted motion vectors and complexity load of block is allocated by adjusting the search range based on the difference between the received motion vector and the predicted motion vectors. The computational complexity of the proposed encoder is decreased 11.9% compared to the H.264/AVC encoder and that of the proposed decoder are reduced 99% compared to the conventional DVC decoder.

This paper suggest the image compression that is needed to process PACS in medical information system. The image decoding method is used Linear-predictor and Lloyd-Max quantizer(quantization) in the Wavelet transform domain. Wavelet Transform Method is processed the multi-resolution by dividing image into 10 sub-bands of 3 levels. Low frequency domain that is sensitive to human visual characteristic is encoded by DPCM which is lossless encoding methods, and Lloyed-Max quantizer, the optimal quantizer for reducing ringing and aliasing in the image of inter sub-band, is used in the remaining high frequency domain of sub-band. The examination verifies that decompressed images are superior by the result that PSNR is 28.53dB on the input image, 512$\times$152 abdominal CT image and Chest image.
